"Don't believe in Goldman
His type like a curse
Instant Karma's gonna get him
If I don't get him first"

The American television program Saturday Night Live had a season 14 sketch in which it was revealed that Albert Goldman, portrayed by Phil Hartman, was the fifth member of the Beatles, playing trompet, but the band, supported by Elvis Presley, decides to fire him, a task they leave to John, with Elvis backing him up, ostensibly fueling Goldmans lifelong hatred of the two.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    What’s wrong, a little pavement sickness?
    —Russian saying popular in the Soviet period, trans. by Vladimir Ivanovich Shlyakov (1993)

    No race has the last word on culture and on civilization. You do not know what the black man is capable of; you do not know what he is thinking and therefore you do not know what the oppressed and suppressed Negro, by virtue of his condition and circumstance, may give to the world as a surprise.
    Marcus Garvey (1887–1940)
